• 28 June 1879 'The Paces of a Horse'. W. B. Tegetmeier, editor of The Field, states that he had mounted Muybridge photographs in a zoetrope: 'The action of the horse was immediately reproduced...' Sequence of galloping horse reproduced. [Mac 27] Note: surviving strips are actually for Reynaud praxinoscope. [Mannoni (Crangle) 309]

• 6 January 1882Knowledge 'The Magic Wheel', phenakistiscope of trotting horse, to cut out and use.'THE MAGIC WHEEL.' 'We are able this week to give a series of views of a trotting-horse ... and to explain how the picture is to be arranged to produce a life-like effect, we repeat Fig.1, as the two have to be considered together.

The views have not been made to guess-work, as in most of the series used in zoetropes, but are from a series of actual photographs taken instantaneously at equal successive intervals of time during the trotting past of the celebrated racer, Abe Edgington. They were obtained by Muybridge, of San Francisco. Next week, or the week after, we shall give a series showing a galloping horse.

The above views are from the Scientific American....' [Herbert Collection]

• 20 January 1882 Knowledge 'The Magic Wheel', phenakistiscope of galloping horse and rider, to cut out and use. 'THE MAGIC WHEEL.' 'We give, this week, the series of pictures of a galloping horse. We have to notice, however, that the instructions in the Scientific American are erroneous. If a slit is cut exactly beneath each figure of a horse, we get a view of a horse galloping without advancing. Eleven slits should be cut (which the reader will find no difficulty in doing), at equal distances, when the horse will not only be found to move his legs, tail &c., but to advance, as might reasonably be expected fom a galloping horse. The same remarks apply, of course, to the trotting horse, in number 10, in fact, the trotting horse alone is taken from the Scientific American, the ten views of a galloping horse being from a series kindly supplied to the editor by Mr. Muybridge, of San Francisco, who photographed them. Twelve slits will produce the desired illusion even better than eleven, a correspondent notes, and their places are more easily measured. [Herbert Collection]
